Feet to meters and centimeters
Decimal feet are not a feet-and-inches notation. For example, 5.5 ft means 5 ft 6 in.
| Decimal feet | Meters | Centimeters |
|---|---|---|
| 1 ft | 0.3048 m | 30.48 cm |
| 3 ft | 0.9144 m | 91.44 cm |
| 5.5 ft | 1.6764 m | 167.64 cm |
| 6 ft | 1.8288 m | 182.88 cm |
| 10 ft | 3.048 m | 304.8 cm |
1 international foot = exactly 0.3048 m; a fractional foot must be multiplied by 12 to find its inches.
